“A Cradle in Bethlehem” – Nat King Cole (Capitol – 1962)
This performance by one of the greatest voices in all of music encapsulates the birth of Christ moment like no other…with all the grandeur and grace of old-fashioned ways: Nat, strings, winds and chorus. Composed by Larry Stock & Alfred Bryan, and conducted by Ralph Carmichael, this is Christmas…as angels sing “Amen.”
